Members of the University community will showcase their talent in a
benefit performance, "This Is Princeton," at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17,
in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.

Faculty and staff members, undergraduate and graduate students
and alumni will participate in segments ranging from readings and
musical offerings to dance and stand-up comedy. The event is designed
to highlight the rich arts culture on campus and is open to the public.

Among those on the program are: Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and
faculty member C.K. Williams, who will conduct a reading; noted
photographer and faculty member Emmet Gowin, who will lead a
photography presentation; the Nassoons, Princeton's oldest a cappella
singing group; a jazz quartet of alumni from 1956-60; Sympoh,
Princeton's urban arts troupe; and Tom Harrits, a senior who is a
stand-up comedian.
